New Flag for Memorial Day

As a tribute to my father-in-law, we fly a new fag to replace the old one that we had in the flagpole. This was the first Memorial day that my FIL is not around since he passed this last March.

Our Memorial weekend was full of activities that were dedicated to our beloved WW2 Vet. Remembering him on that special day was emotional for us especially to my husband. He tries to suppress his feelings but it shows in his words and action.

Aside from this flag, we also put a small flag on my FIL's grave when we visited him and other loved ones in the cemetery.

When the flag is in such condition where it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

June 14 is the Flag Day so this post is perfect for that celebration too. The especial holidays to fly a flag includes Inauguration Day, President's Day, Armed Forces Day, Patriot Day, Pearl Harbor Day, Veteran's Day, Constitution Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, POW/MIA Recognition Day and other special holidays.

I love your yard and the flag is a perfect addition. You have done an amazing job transforming your yard. I love that the flag is a symbol of support for our country and all the men and women who serve, have served in the military.
